Notes |
LDB Master Series #422 Welcome to my Master Series which started way back in November 2005. This series is only about masters, concerts I recorded myself either from audience or from radio/TV broadcasts. Occasionally I could also share masters that have been kindly given to me by many friends and fellow tapers I have been meeting during my long career of live taping. I have stopped seeding my masters after volume 400 about three years ago and since then I have shared just a few, mostly to address requests from friends. I have not stopped recording shows, though, so there is quite an impressive amount of files from my recordings that are yet uncirculated. I have taken the liberty to look at those uncirculated masters and selected ten which I thought were special for some reasons. They will be seeded over here. Hope you will enjoy them!

That was the first Porcupine Tree show in Milan. In 1995 the band played a few cities but not there. That was the Signify tour and the band still fairly unknown back then. There must have been 100 people, I think. The band played well but I do not recall an exceptional show. Also, my Sony Professional recorder had died a few days earlier while recording the third show at the Frontiera and I had to ask a friend to borrow his. But it was not as good as mine: it was a Sony recorder with embedded microphone and with a button that allowed you to flip the tape side without extracting the tape. So the quality is not what you would expect from my masters. I had my machine repaired just in time for the october tour! Pretty standard setlist with the performance of Cryogenics. I believe this is the last performance of that track live. Enjoy another piece of history. ldb |
